What is venture capital? What does it have to do with buying stocks? This week, Jason and Jeff are joined by Joe Magyer, founder of VC firm Seaplane Ventures. After nearly two decades investing in public stocks, Joe now focuses on finding and investing in early-stage companies before they IPO. In this episode, Joe helps explain how VC works, and breaks down the big trend of startups staying private for much longer, why that's happened, and how it potentially affects investors in stocks. 

Are you a founder (or an accredited investor) looking to contact Joe? You can find him at https://www.seaplaneventures.com/, https://www.linkedin.com/in/joemagyer/, and https://twitter.com/Magyer.
